Is that mitochondrial variant that widespread among Ashkenazi Jews? 99% chance that if you have it means you have Ashkenazi heritage is not the same as 99% chance of the reverse, that you'll have it if you have a Jewish mother. And if we're assuming the latter based on the former then there's a serious issue with the grasp of statistics and how it applies to genetic testing, potentially leading to a lot of false negatives.
